Mita, I am speechless. How exciting to come here and find this new WONDERFUL drawing. I love love love it! Oh, there are so many things that could be said about this cat and mouse ~ sneaky, indeed! Such a wonderful drawing, Mita!!!♥ audrey

NO NO NOi am the ugly catand you are the pretty mouseWe shall go to the forest togetherto visit the flora and faunawe shall return filled with joy after witnessing the forest lifeNo skinning aloudonly the newborn lovebetween us

Ja Ja, I loved it!You are using some details and characters. of humor. Of drawn humor. You understand me?And that's good. I suppose that an artist can go from humorous drawings to painting, but not the other way. That gives a great advantage. The irreverence of the cartoonist, is not easily acquired by a "serious artist." Well done!

heyyy this is perfect for sneaky :)The faces are very funny, the cat has a romantic look and the mouse has a distance vibe, as if she's a rich girl that's not interested haha.And I love those red shoes in her little feet...I think it's gonna be a real problem trying to run away in those once the cat decides to show its real nature...she'll have to take them off but she doesn't seem like the kind of girl that prefers her safety over her beauty so who knows?

Beautiful! I love the concept, the idea that everyone should accept and embrace the differences, acknowledging the fact that it's the differences that make the world special. I have an image in my head with a similar concept for a while now: I want to do a Little Red Riding Hood where the girl and the wolf become best friends :)

I'm sorry if I got carried away with all those links in your previous post. I really love Sintra and I try to promote it as much as I can. Sometimes I forget that not everybody is as crazy as I am.About the songs... It's a Portuguese music gender called Fado - the word fado means Fate. Several Fado songs (especially the sad ones) speak of the sea (one of the songs I sent you is called The Song of the Sea) . We Portuguese - specially here in Lisbon, the city where I live - have a strong connection to the sea because Lisbon has always been a maritime harbor. Many songs speak of how the man would go to the see for months and the woman would wait for them, praying everyday that the sea would return their husbands, sons, fathers safe and sound to them. They speak of all the lives that were lost, and speak of the struggle and the day to day life of the poor.

**squeals of delight** OMGoodness I love this on so many levels. I love always the antique quality of your work and your fascinating mind. YOU, Mita, are The Beautiful One, inside and out...just look at all the beauty that comes from you. Yes, yes, we will dance in the forest and play in the fields, but the only coat we shall wear will be love. **kisskiss** Deb

Lakhsmita thank you very much. my family is a strange kind of family scattered around the world. Sometimes I know where they are, sometimes not. This is true and I accept it. I'm used to it gradually.I hope that today will be a better day than yesterday, I mean that the sun shines more for a man;)Thanks again.

Hey !!!!! What a beautiful surprise.It is always good to change. Congratulations.I like the illustrations on a white background.And your profile picture is very good.Anyway I have to get used to, I was accustomed to Illustration Poetry was there before.I hope it's a weekend where everything gets better. :).

Dearest friend,I haven't called in forever and for that I'm sorry. Your work is as stunning as ever and the changes to your blog fitting and seamless.I will call again very soon.All my very best,Simone

Awe, you are so sweet. ETSY shop is waiting for me to upload photos, but I had to stop working on it for Thanksgiving. The first shop will not be of interest to you...I am making totes and diaper bags out of up-cycled US Army shirts for Army wives. OOooo I will e-mail you a photo. **kisses** Deb

Hey Mita! My wonderful little witch friend! Love,love,love your cat and mouse episode. That cat is so sneaky! He reminds me of Tom... or is it Jerry... I forget... anyway, your characters are so charming! The background is exquisite as usual and Oh I really like your new profile pic. you are a very lovely witch :o)

Ah, deadlines! Stress! I am working on meeting a deadline right now, too.Stay calm. All will get done. I keep telling myself that so it must work.100 years is nothing in "witch time", so I'll see you soon.♥fairy fish

Hello lovely Mita! I am so glad I am back to posting again - the first person I thought of was you dear friend!!! Thank you for your comments on my site. Sorry I have been absent. You work is still beautiful of course ;-) Speak soon.

Well. I'll tell you, surely there is something romantic in what you've read.but there is plenty of fear and insecurity that lived in my country many years ago.Thanks for your comment.Well I could tell you how to grow a beard. but you would not seem very beautiful. Mmmmmmm I do not think it is well with your face ..

Well, I've seen some beautiful women who have left their beards grow and become even more beautiful. But the problem started when I wanted to kiss them. Even closing my eyes I felt like I was kissing my cousin, or friend (or my aunt). Well, maybe you can be even more beautiful with a beard ... but it is a risk. I know that your ideas were provocative, but never thought you'd get that far, ha ha! (Perhaps looking at the glass onion, today you can see yourself) look this---->♥ ja ja!!!!

Well, again I spent walking around, like last week, and I thought it was a light on, and came ... but no one there. live a ghost in your blog?No matter, he should not be bad because I heard a voice that said, "Tell Lakhsmita that has a good weekend, and that the sun shines again, and getting better on your family"
